Glowing with the deepest maroon color, these saucer-shaped single flowers look lovely paired with red hollyhocks and yellow flowers. An antique variety which was grown by Jefferson at Monticello. Summer bloom. Rich, moist soil. Biennial to short lived perennial.

A highly ornamental and extremely nutritious green rich in antioxidants. Charcoal-green strap leaves produce over a long period, even into winter, when freezing temperatures heighten its sweetness. An heirloom that stars in many soup and stew recipes.

A velvety dark chocolate ganache of a flower, with edible petals to use as a garnish if you wish, this sweet William has green pointed foliage that matures a dark bronzy green. Blooming the first year from a late winter sowing indoors they are perfect for interplanting with red sweet Williams in the early summer cottage garden.
